For Your Eyes Only

Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you flicking a cigarette onto their corpse.

Possibly one of the hardest freezecam shots to pull off, you will need a quick finger to pull this off after getting a kill. The farming and normal methods are the same, it only matters if the subject is willing or not. Sneak up on an enemy and backstab them. Then, immediately switch to the disguise kit and taunt. With any luck, you will get the achievement. The timing is incredibly difficult, so you may have to do it multiple times to registers. Also note that there is a "crab spy" taunt as well, and this will definitely not count towards the achievement. It is random whether or not you flick a cigarette or doing the crab spy, unfortunately.

Note: You do not have to actually see the enemy corpse in the picture, just the Spy flicking the cigarette onto it. Furthermore, you don't have to backstab, but it works easier if you do backstab, as the body will fall forward just right and switching to the disguise kit after a backstab is the easiest thing in the world

FYI I am a Spy

Backstab a Medic who has healed you in the last 5 seconds.

A hilarious achievement, this has you tricking an enemy Medic into healing you (which is the goal of another, general, achievement) and then turning around and stabbing him almost immediately afterward. It is very hard to trick good Medics into healing a Spy, so you will either have to be a really good Spy or find a really dumb Medic to pull this achievement off normally. Once you are set up for the heal, wait until the Medic's attention is diverted and then backstab him. Achievement got!

To farm this achievement, you'll need a friend to play an enemy Medic. Then, you should disguise as another class. We suggest a Medic, as then you can easily obtain Identity Theft as well as FYI I am a Spy. Get healed, turn around, backstab your buddy. As he should be in your friends list, you will probably also get progress towards Agent Provocateur as well.

Note: Infamously taken from this video which made the rounds in the TF2 community before the first expansion hybrid update was released. The Medic achievements have their own version, named (funnily enough) "FYI I Am A Medic". Good times with classic TF2 gameplay.

High Value Target

Backstab an enemy who is dominating 3 or more of your teammates.

Possibly one of the hardest achievements, period. The amount of skill necessary to get a backstab on somebody with three dominations is hard in of itself. But what about them actually getting the dominations? It's fairly hard to get that many dominations without one of them killing you. The best class to look to kill for this achievement, however, is the Engineer, as the Engineer can get plenty of dominations with a well-placed and well-maintained sentry. Simply find the Engineer that the sentry belongs to and backstab him. Also, one of the people that is being dominated by the target can be you, leading into Come In From The Cold.

To farm this achievement, you will need at least 8 friends all willing to help out. Have one friend kill your team repeatedly until he has three or more dominations. Then run up and backstab him. Achievements that this goes well with are Agent Provocateur, Counter Espionage, and Come In From The COld, so keep that in mind as you begin your farm.

Note: A high value target is any person or object that has had a significant bounty placed upon it, either in money or in strategic worth. For example, the leader of a country's special operations school could possibly be considered an HVT. Or maybe a terrorist with a string of bombings that have injured and killed many.

Identity Theft

Backstab the enemy that you're currently disguised as.

This one is fun! It's both easy, as if you are near the enemy whose name you have, people won't pay any heed, and hard, as the person whose guise you have stolen definitely will. The easiest place to do this is on the balcony of 2fort, where you can disguise as a Sniper and backstab the one you are disguised as. Granted, you will probably die shortly afterwards, but hey, at least you got the achievement! Other good targets are Medics and Engineers. Steer clear of Scouts and Pyros, as the speed and spy checks (respectively) will thwart your attempts.

To farm this one, have a friend play as a Spy, disguise as an enemy Spy (AKA you), equip the revolver, and turn his back to you. Plant that knife firmly between those shoulderblades, and you have yourself an achievement! The reason you should do all the other activities is that they lead into other achievements, such as Counter Espionage or A Cut Above. And people love to get several achievements at once!

Note: The backstab has to be the one that takes you out of the disguise. If you attempt a backstab and fail, you can't get the achievement just because that enemy was your last disguise. You actually have to reveal yourself as not being him to get this achievement.

Insurance Fraud

Kill an enemy while you're being healed by an enemy Medic.

An achievement along the lines of FYI I am a Spy, this one can also be prohibitively hard thanks to the paranoid nature of Medics. However, if you do find a Medic healing you, take advantage of it right away! Backstab an enemy Heavy (especially if disguised as that Heavy, thanks to Identity Theft) and then swiftly backstab either his healing medic (for May I Cut In?) or your own healing Medic (for FYI I am a Spy). Overall, if you find yourself being healed by an enemy Medic, take advantage of it!

To farm this achievement, get two friends on the opposite team and have one play Medic while the other plays Heavy. Then disguise as the Heavy, backstab the Heavy while being healed, and then backstab your own Medic. Viola, you have just acquired three achievements: Insurance Fraud, Identity Theft, and FYI I am a Spy. Great job!
